Here is Part II, taking a look at the forwards at camp:

Flames Prospect Development Camp Impressions: Part I

Here is my latest article at The Hockey Writers, written after I attended the last day of the Flames Summer Prospect Development Camp.

It was great to get down at the Saddledome again and get a glimpse into the Flames future.

Top 10 NHL 2009 Entry Draft Scouting Performances


Christopher Ralph is a hockey writer with a focus on prospects and the entry draft, as well as the Leafs' correspondent at THW.



Well over a week has passed since hockey's version of Christmas (that is, NHL entry draft) has come and gone followed by hockey's version of a Boxing Day sale (that is, Free Agent Frenzy, aka Canada Day!) which commenced last week.


As I gradually recover from withdrawal of these major events, I thought I'd take a look back to see which NHL franchise's scouting teams' performances seemingly stood out from the rest.


Here's my latest article hosted at The Hockey Writers (THW):

NHL 2009 Entry Draft Aftermath: Comparing The Draft Ranking Services Take 2

Last week, I compared the various ranking systems from a couple of
different perspectives and highlighted limitations to any type of
analysis this close to after the draft {Click here for article}.

This week I present another methodology in gauging the accuracy of
the major draft ranking services. Basically, a point was assigned for
each draft position a prospect was taken in the actual NHL entry draft
versus where the prospect was projected to go in the respective ranking.

Click here
for the analysis I  performed using what information we actually have
at this point to determine which draft ranking service was the most
accurate from the NHL 2009 entry draft results.
